Computational Biology Bi-Group at Columbia

Established by Prof. Dana Pe'er and
Prof. Itsik Pe'er in 2006, the Computational Biology Bi-Group brings together interdisciplinary and crossdisciplinary individuals and skill sets to tackle problems in high throughput genomics, systems biology and genetics.
In addition to department-, program- or center-related activities,
the Bi-Group meets weekly giving an opportunity for students to
present their research internally and feed back on one another's work.
Weekly meetings occasionally give host to guest speakers, include a journal club, or
extracurricular activities.

The student and postdoc body in the Bi-Group is very diverse in terms of undergraduate background as well
as current PhD program or postdoctoral affiliation.
Specifically, we enjoy students from the following Columbia graduate programs

We find that the best way for a student to be exposed to the research life in the lab and for
the group to get to know a student is a semester project/rotation, enabling the group and the student to
evaluate the match for longer term commitment. Semester research projects are part of the curriculum in most of the above programs.
